In 1969, America is changing—but not fast enough for everyone.

In the quiet town of Newhill, survival looks different depending on where you stand. For Glory Washington, growing up Black, poor, and painfully aware of the world's inequalities means learning hard truths long before adulthood.

The Forgotten Hills is a powerful novel-in-stories exploring the lives of people shaped by class, race, grief, and generational trauma. Through interconnected narratives, hidden wounds rise to the surface, exposing the divides between privilege and poverty, hope and despair, belonging and isolation.

Set against the backdrop of a changing America, these stories reveal what happens to the people history often overlooks—the ones left behind in the shadows of progress.

Some hills are climbed.
Some are survived.
Some are forgotten.
